DIRTYBIRD BBQ

The annual Dirtybird Records BBQ stops in major cities every year and this year, for the first-time ever, it’s hitting up downtown Las Vegas via winning the “City Vote Winner” contest and are teaming up with Collective ZOO.

The event will be held inside the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center on Saturday, May 20 from 2 p.m. until 12 a.m.

For the first time ever, outside BBQ and food vendors have been allowed to give the already hugely successful festival a more local feel. Here’s a sneak peek of all the epic grub that will be at #DirtybirdBBQ #MakeBBQsLITagain.
